Measurement of the Liquid Argon Scintillation Pulse Shape Using Differentiable Simulation in the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills Experiment
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
The Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) experiment is a liquid argon (LAr) light collection detector searching for MeV-scale neutrino and Beyond Standard Model physics signatures. Two hun…
First Event-by-Event Identification of Cherenkov Radiation from Sub-MeV Particles in Liquid Argon
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
This Letter reports the event-by-event observation of Cherenkov light from sub-MeV electrons in a high scintillation light-yield liquid argon (LAr) detector by the Coherent CAPTAIN…
Production, Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM Tiles for the DarkSide-20k Time Projection Chamber
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +301
The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a 21 m^2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projectio…
Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
